My last week at home


I'm starting my new job at Office National on Monday, which I'm really looking forward to, but I'm also enjoying my last week at home and am trying to make the most of getting to the gym as much as possible. I did 2 spin and tone classes yesterday and boy did I sleep well last night!!!! It's a 30 minute step class tonight. Nige and I are both doing it, which is great and we've upped the steps to 3, which is a great workout.

Back to it though, it just shows you how not tracking affects the journey!!!

Jessie's Birthday


It's Jessie's birthday today and she's had some lovely prezzies. I forgot to buy wrapping paper though, so ended up using Christmas paper!!!!

Party time!!!




We had Jessie's party last night and I'm feeling a little delicate today!!! The curries turned out well and I think everyone enjoyed it.
















Jess had some lovely prezzies and loved playing with everyone.

Jessie's Birthday Party

We're having a little party for Jess today, it's her 2nd birthday on Tuesday. It's more of an excuse for a get together though! So I've been busy making curries and the best of it is, that they're all low fat! I've made; lamb rogan josh, chicken balti, railway chicken, potato and eggplant curry, potato and spiced spinach, mushroom bhaji and to start we're having poppadoms (or baked mountain bread for me) with a sweet yoghurt dip, coriander chutney, onion salad, spicy tomato salsa, cucumber raita dips. All proudly made by me!!! I'll put recipes on my recipe blog when I've got chance.

I can't believe our little girl is almost 2!!!! Blimey, 2 years ago I would have been bouncing around in England on one of those birthing balls in the conservatory!!!!!

Weigh in :)

Well, I'm really chuffed to say that I've lost 1.4kg and that I went for an interview at Country Energy and I've been offered a job :)

I've lost 26kg in a year, the majority of it being this year. I really do feel like it's my year!!!!

Goal change

I originally set my goal weight to 64 kg, but as I'm quite close to that I'm going to change it to 60kg.

Weigh in

I'm back at the gym and loving it. I'm doing a few classes with Nige which is great.

Weigh in.....

today and I've lost a massive........wait for it..........100g!!!! So, I haven't been tracking my food, just estimating and there has been the choc treats and biscuits that I wouldn't normally have! It just shows you how important it is to track!!! Also the few glasses of wine this week (for medicinal puposes for my cold, of course!) I've made it back to the gym a few times this week. I haven't gone as much as normal, just to ease back in to it, but it's great to be back. I've really missed it! It's psychological for me too.....if I go to the gym, I'm good, if I don't, I'm not!!!!!!



So, it's track track track and back to my fab exercise routine at Buzza's gym. I'm taking part in "Dry July" with some mates from Weighwatchers, so hopefully it'll be comin off again!!!!
